Do you have prayers that haven't been answered yet? Do you wonder why, and what is going on? I recently shared a message on a few more pieces to the "Answered Prayers" puzzle and you are welcome to watch it here. Enjoy!
Everything has to be fast today. Instant gratification rules. It seems that this immediate world expectation has also penetrated the prayer world. Many have seen the instantaneous miracles that occur on TV, resulting in the belief that God only does instantaneous miracles. Some even say I won't pray twice for something because that shows I have a lack of faith. Both of these beliefs are false. It's interesting to see that in the Bible, many people were healed over time, and many times, prayers were not answered immediately. Today, we will examine this reality.
The Shunammite woman made a room for the man of God to stay in when he passed by. One result was that she experienced two amazing miracles. We can do the same! Here is her story.
Principle: Truth be told, I have ministered healings, including casting out demons, thousands of times, and no two are alike. Check out Peg's website.
It is important to distinguish between the scriptural confession of genuine faith and such things as wishful thinking or irreverent presumption or some kind of “mind-over matter” philosophy. Special thanks to Derek Prince and his book, Blessing or Curse, which I drew heavily from in developing this blog.
When we lay hands on the sick to recover or lead a person into salvation, are we to feel a flow of divine power and see this power (or the Holy Spirit) entering them, or do we take it by faith? And what is the role of love in this entire process? Let’s see if we can answer these questions.
I am very excited to share about a project we have been working on to help you keep track of your dreams and actively receive the wisdom and comfort God is offering you in the night. This one-of-a-kind interpretation app will not only provide an electronic space to journal your dreams on your phone through typing or voice-to-text recording, but will also help you decode the divine messages in them by assisting you in easily applying the principles of the DAESI Dream Work Method.
Bible meditation involves Jesus illuminating Scripture to our hearts. It is a direct living encounter with Jesus through the Holy Spirit. It is described in Luke 24:32, "Didn’t our hearts burn with the flames of holy passion while we walked beside him? He unveiled for us such profound revelation from the Scriptures!” (TPT)
Now that we've grown up we realize how serious life can get. We see the evil, feel the weight of responsibility and challenges and stresses. It is so easy to decide it is time to set aside the childhood hopes and dreams and joy and fun, and get serious about life. Or maybe we just need to remain childlike... Following is journaling from Ruth Morgan.
If I fill my mind and heart daily with the evil taking place around me, I become fearful, angry, and depressed. This removes my Kingdom emotions of joy and peace (Rom. 14:17). The emotions of joy and peace turn on my immune system so I can walk in divine health. Fear, anger, and depression turn off my immune system so that cancer and other horrible diseases can develop, which I do not want!
